Godspell

TEMECULA, CA – Experience the energy of one of the most popular musicals of the 1970s during the Temecula Performing Arts Company production of Godspell. Take a modern journey through the last seven days of the life of Jesus Christ, based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew. Performances run:November 12 – 20  at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

“Godspell is one of those shows that seem to inspire a populace following whenever and wherever it is performed,” says Jillian Stones the show’s director.

The original Off-Broadway production, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, debuted in 1971 and its costumes and sets were reflective of the 1970s culture and a small cast of 9. TPAC’s 2010 version however, will encompass a more contemporary feel and a larger cast with much more dancing showcasing the talents of 20 of our local youth ages 7 thru 19.  The talented cast is headlined by Brandon Olsen as Jesus and Michael Brambila as John the Baptist / Judas.

The all-ages-appropriate Godspell performance can be enjoyed by the entire family. Stones believes that those who experience the musical for the first time will add it to their list of favorites; and patrons who are familiar with the show will be delighted by fresh aspects of the production.

Tickets for Godspell are $10-$15 and available online at www.temeculatheater.org or through the OTTCT Box Office, 1-866-OLD-TOWN .
